Finally, we examine the story of Eve (HawaH) from Abrahamic religions and how her legacy has been shaped over time. From being blamed for the downfall of humanity to being celebrated as a symbol of resilience and empowerment, Eve's story continues to captivate people to this day. Throughout the episode, we explore the impact of these three iconic figures and how their stories continue to inspire and influence contemporary culture.
